Getting reacquainted with the beers that launched the craft beer boom isn’t living in the past. You’ll still be enjoying good beer. Flagship beers – if nothing else – can be enjoyed as a respite when trying new ones. And for the latest crop of legal-age drinkers, these beers might still be uncharted territory, so for them, they are new.

Giving these beers a second look is a great way to reconnect with craft beer’s roots and spend some time with the beers that got the breweries you love where they are today.
